WPF Controls (Windows Presentation Foundation Controls & WPF Components)

What is WPF? WPF stands for Windows Presentation Foundation and is part of the Microsoft .NET Framework that helps you create Windows based forms inside your application on Windows based PCs and servers. (When Microsoft were developing WPF it was also known as project Avalon). The WPF technology can be viewed as the next step on from Windows Forms or WinForms by Microsoft and provides support for vector graphics, as such WPF apps can produce a better look and feel, particularly for high-definition imaging and graphics applications, than traditional Windows Forms. WPF is not aimed at Web site & Intranet developers as Microsoft has another .NET Technology called Silverlight. WPF is aimed at desktop app developers.

What is a WPF Control? A WPF control is a reusable software component that you can add you your WPF form to enable the user to control the application, enter data and display data on their screen at run-time. A WPF control is a piece of code that has been pre-built by another WPF developer or third party WPF controls creator that can be easily added to your WPF based app to extend the functionality fast. For example, you will find complex Gantt scheduling WPF controls on our Web site for you to add resource scheduling, planning and timetabling functionality to your WPF program, without you needing to develop and support all those basic WPF scheduling controls.

What is a WPF Component? WPF components are different from WPF controls in that they can be non-visual and can to be running hidden in the background of your app. WPF controls are a subset of WPF components, so all WPF controls are also WPF components, but not all WPF components are visible to the user. For example, you can get a WPF data compression component that runs in the background compressing and decompressing the size of data files using common data compression techniques such as ZIP, but this WPF component and its activity is not visible to the user.

In this filtered view of our complete .NET component product catalog, you will find a WPF controls gallery and also some WPF components that you can download, compare, review, try and buy, to add to your WPF app. The Windows Presentation Foundation area of the market is rapidly expanding, so if you wish to find all the latest WPF News about third party WPF products, then subscribe to our WPF News RSS feed to keep up to date.

Visual Studio 2017 (Controls & Components, Tools & Add-ins)

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (MS Visual Studio 2017) allows Visual Studio 2017 programmers to create Windows applications and offers unparalleled productivity for any dev, any app and any platform. You can use Visual Studio 2017 to develop solutions that integrate with the Cloud, Azure and .NET Core applications. Developers can also create quality mobile apps for Android and iOS using Xamarin’s advanced debugging and profiling tools. Visual Studio 2017 developers can extend the standard functionality available inside the Visual Studio 2017 IDE with a variety of Visual Studio 2017 add-ins and Visual Studio 2017 tools. The extensibility of Visual Studio software is one of the main reasons it has proved to be so popular with developers, as Visual Studio 2017 software engineers can find Visual Studio 2017 downloads from other companies or other developers to act as a Visual Studio 2017 extension to their Visual Studio 2017 IDE.

The versatility of Visual Studio 2017 also extends to various forms of Visual Studio 2017 software components. Visual Studio 2017 controls can be used to create feature rich Visual Studio 2017 user interfaces on forms and Web pages for Visual Studio 2017 apps. These Visual Studio 2017 UI controls are augmented by non-visual Visual Studio 2017 components or Visual Studio 2017 libraries that can help a developer add many hidden features in Visual Studio 2017 applications running in the background. These non-visual components are commonly available as a Visual C++ library, Visual C++ Class library, Visual Basic library, Visual Basic Class library or as a Visual Basic custom control or ActiveX/OCX component.

An example of a visual Visual Studio control is the DevExpress WPF DataGrid Control, a .NET UI control that is an Outlook inspired editing and data shaping component allowing your end-users to easily manage information and display it on-screen in your project. A non-visual .NET component example is a Visual Studio 2017 compatible product that allows you to create and output files in different formats, such as: PDF, XPS, PostScript, RTF, HTML, XML to help solve file conversion and document storage needs.

Another example of a visual Visual Studio 2017 control is BCGControlBar Professional, a Visual C++ Class Library that allows you to create an MS Office Ribbon style or look and feel to your latest Visual C++ project. A non-visual Visual C++ Class Library component example is a Visual C++ compatible product call IP*Works! C++ Edition that allows you to send emails via SMTP and POP or to transfer files reliably using HTTP or FTP Internet protocols from within your Visual C++ program.

The Visual Studio 2017 software products listed in this Visual Studio 2017 product gallery will allow you to save a lot of time and effort in creating your new Visual Studio 2017 app. Whether you are looking for a Visual Studio 2017 plug-in or Visual Studio 2017 utility, or you are looking for a Visual Studio 2017 control or a Visual Studio 2017 component, you will be able to find a wide variety of Visual Studio 2017 tools to help you finish your project faster.

We also have other Visual Studio product galleries for: Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio compatible products.
